Belmans–Smirnov's non-Hochschild-globality conjecture for isotropic Grassmannians

Let XX be an isotropic Grassmannian, meaning a Grassmannian parametrizing subspaces isotropic for the relevant symplectic or orthogonal form. A variety XX is Hochschild global if

Hi(X,ΛjTX)=0H^i(X,\Lambda^j\mathcal{T}_X)=0

for all i>0i>0 and all jj.

Belmans–Smirnov's conjecture. If XX is neither (co)minuscule nor (co)adjoint, then XX is not Hochschild global; equivalently, for some i>0i>0 and some jj,

Hi(X,ΛjTX)0.H^i(X,\Lambda^j\mathcal{T}_X)\neq 0.

Hochschild globality was known for (co)minuscule and (co)adjoint isotropic Grassmannians. The conjecture was established for the nonspecial isotropic Grassmannians considered in the paper, with the possible exception of OGr(n1,2n+1)\mathsf{OGr}(n-1,2n+1) for n4n\geq 4; thus the original claim is not uniformly resolved in the stated generality.
